UPEI has been selected by U SPORTS to host back-to-back national women’s hockey championships in 2019 and 2020.
While 2019 will mark the first time the national women’s hockey tournament will be in Charlottetown, UPEI has a proven track record having successfully hosted U SPORTS national championships of men’s soccer in 2005 and 2014, and women’s soccer in 2010.
The local organizing committee will be led by co-chairs Kathleen Casey, Della Sweet, and Lorna O’Donald who have a long-standing history of involvement in hockey and community events in the province.
Both events will take place on the UPEI campus at MacLauchlan Arena in the Bell Aliant Centre.
